Did you read the post from them? You are not affected.
Not affected today, many businesses were started from home. We already know it's not possible any more to build a business using hashicorp products as they could pivot at any moment and then you'd be "competing" and in breach of license.
Yes but is that affecting you businesswise, for example using terraform for proviosioning infrastructure for a customer? As far as I understand this move it affects companies like gruntwork who makes a business on top of terraform with terragrunt. Dont get me wrong, I do dislike this change also but saying „it is not open source anymore“ is just wrong. It is still open source but its usage changed for companies making a dollar here or there with technologies they dont develop.
That's not open source.
Do you have access to the source code?
It is. You mix free software and open source, their often but not always the same.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

I see no discrimination here lol. Look up licenses and stop dreaming.
Stop shilling proprietary licenses in this community.
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
Also go look up the word discrimination.
Sure, but it’s a question of principle. I try to use and support FLOSS software if possible.
This is your choice of course.
